In the study room of the Governor's Mansion in Nanjing, Jiangsu, the battle report of the sniper battle in Xijia Town was originally delivered to Li Chun's uncle and nephew, and after Li Chun read it, he threw the battle report to Li He and said: "! Using Xiejia Town as a chessboard to fight Wu Peifu's third division, it was really a big deal, did Li He do it? ”

Li He took the battle report and looked at it carefully, before he said with admiration and pity: "Zhenbang is really powerful, it is definitely not comparable to the little nephew, but this unloading town is one of the three rich towns in Gaoyou, and it is really a pity that it is so broken!" ”

"It's a pity?" Li Chun sneered: "It's nothing to be sorry for!" Slowly, a small unloading town, that is, it doesn't matter if the entire Gaoyou is gone, as long as Jiangsu is in hand, what is this loss? When Feng Guozhang and President Feng fought the Battle of Pingding Kwai Chou, this Nanjing was first burned and plundered by Zhang Xun once, and then bombarded by Feng Guozhang again, but what? Nanjing City is not a good place to be rich! Any idea why this is? ”

Li He thought for a while and said, "Nephew is stupid! Please make it clear to my uncle. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Chundao: "Three talents, heaven and earth!" As long as the time and place of the whole place remain the same, and the spirit of the people remains the same, even if the whole place is broken, it is okay to break it, or it will be a world of flowers in three or four years, Chang Zhenbang understands this truth, so he dares to use the town of Xiejia as a chessboard. In fact, this is quite good, I dare to say that in order to defeat Wu Peifu is Yangzhou, and he will not hesitate to do anything about such an inch of land as Nanjing! ”

Li He sighed and said: "Maybe this is fate, but it's okay, it's good that a small unarmored town can be exchanged for the whole of Jiangsu." ”

Li Chun smiled coldly and said: "Since Wu Peifu was defeated by Chang Zhenbang and returned to the Zhili table and resigned, then my uncle should also prepare." As he spoke, he picked up an official document from the table and handed it to Li He.

Li He picked it up and looked at it, was taken aback, and said with trembling hands: "Uncle can't!" Wang Huaiqing's management of the army is acceptable, but there are many slackness in the government affairs department, how can he be temporarily replaced as the overseer of Jiangsu? Besides, now that Wu Peifu is gone, the Jiangsu overseer should still be his uncle, how could it be his turn Wang Huaiqing? ”

Li Chundao: "The will of the central government, let Wu Peifu be the overseer of Jiangsu, let my uncle be the overseer of Hubei, and now Wu Peifu said that he was sick and took leave, and asked Premier Duan and President Xu Da to take back his order, but the central government did not take back the will of his uncle to sit in Hubei to supervise the army, so my uncle still has to prepare so that he can go to Hubei to take office!" ”

Li He said: "It's a long way to Hubei, and Wang Zhanyuan, the commander of the second division, has been in the position of overseer of Hubei for a long time, so he may not be willing to obediently hand over the position of overseer. ”

Li Chun said with a smile: "It's hard for you to have this filial piety, it's not in the way, I also had some friendship with Wang Zhanyuan when I was training at the small station, and now that I have taken the position of his overseer, it is reasonable for him to embarrass me, but even if I am embarrassed, the number of courtesies I should have will not be less!" This can be regarded as a tacit understanding of our Beiyang! ”

Li He said: "Uncle thinks like this, and a big stone falls in the heart of the little nephew, but knowing people and knowing faces does not know their hearts, although this Beiyang tacit understanding is good, it may not be able to restrain the person who is hungry for profit, I think it is better to let Chang Daren send a strong team to escort his uncle to take office." Li Chun said with a smile: "You should have seen the combat power of the Beiyang Army!" Not to mention your new Fujian First Division, it is Chang Zhenbang Guard Brigade, that is the elite of the elite, the absolute trump card, the battle of the first battle of the Jiazhen Town, it is a sneak attack, and there are many people, but the third division of the Beiyang is stunned to tie the battle loss ratio, if it is a hard-to-hard battle, Chang Zhenbang has an elite division and is not Wu Peifu's opponent, which shows the strength of the Beiyang Army! How many divisions should Chang Zhenbang use to escort his uncle to Wuhan? Li He said: "But uncle, you go to work alone, and it's always not a way to have no personal person by your side!" Why don't you let Wenhe go! ”

Li Chun thought for a while and said: "Forget it, Wenhe staying in Jiangsu is the best choice, not long ago, I have asked Wenhe to hand over Shanghai's taxes to Qi Xieyuan, and let him take over as the political envoy of Huaiyang Yan!" Lao Qi is our intimate person, from the time of the sixth division of Beiyang to follow us, after the sixth division fell into the hands of Chang Zhenbang, he ran thousands of miles away, although Shanghai gave him, but not to pay him taxes is really difficult for him. Now let Wen He pay him taxes, and let him be a well-deserved Shanghai town guard. With him in Shanghai, even if Jiangsu follows Chang Zhenbang, it is controlled by our people. ”

Li He said: "But uncle, you went to Jiangsu alone, and the little nephew is really worried!" ”

Li Chundao: "It's okay, Zhenbang has arranged for your third uncle Li and the brother of the old sixth division to follow your uncle to Wuhan, so that Wang Zhanyuan will not be afraid to turn his face with me." ”

"Uncle Li is now the new leader of the Sixth Division of the Jiangxi Overseer, and this Sixth Division is the old subordinate of my uncle who used to be the Overseer of Jiangxi, Chang Zhenbang is afraid that it will be ......" Saying this, he looked around, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid I didn't have any good intentions!" ”

Li Chundao: "Today is different from the past, now Chang Zhenbang spans the five southeastern provinces, and has the intention of dominating the world, sweeping the heart of the Eight Desolations, how can we discuss a sixth division in this district again?" It's okay, besides, what kind of temper your third uncle Li has, I don't know yet? He won't hurt me! ”

Li He said: "There is no personal friendship in the struggle for power, and the relationship between the three heroes of Beiyang is not divided because of the dispute between the government and the court?" This Li Tingyu has been in Chang Zhenbang for the longest time and has the highest official position. Now he is a provincial overseer, and there is no difference between his uncle's status. Now Chang Zhenbang escorted him to wait for the Sixth Division to escort his uncle to Wuhan, this Sixth Division is the backer of his uncle to sit firmly in Hubei, but Wu Hongchang, Yue Zhaolin and others on the ground in Jiangxi are not easy to match, Li Tingyu does not have the Sixth Division in hand, how can he hold Jiangxi? People are harmless and tigers, tigers are hurtful, uncles must be guarded against! ”

Li Chun shook his head in disappointment and said, "Li He, you disappointed me too much!" Compared to when you were in Jiangxi, you are far behind, Zhenbang I have already gone to the message, Fujian Yanping, you don't want to go, stay under Wenhe and learn the rules of officialdom! After saying that, he got up and left, Li He chased after him and said, "Uncle, uncle......"

The next day, the sun was shining, the acting overseer Wang Huaiqing led the civil and military officials of the Overseer's Mansion to gather in the official hall, and sent Li Chun to leave Nanjing to take office in Wuhan, the red carpet was spread from the Overseer's Mansion to the dock, and the seventeen or eighteen girls on both sides of the red carpet were holding flowers to send them to Li Chun's side, and many squires kneeled to Li Chun's side with Wanmin umbrellas, Li Chunqian gave in a few times, and let his subordinates accept the Wanmin umbrella, and left the shoes as a thought to the Jiangsu fathers, as the steamer slowly left the dock and drove to Wuhan, twenty-one salutes then sounded. Wang Huaiqing also slowly walked into the Overseer's Mansion with his head held high in the twenty-one cannon salute, and the civil and military officials who had just sent off Li Chun immediately immediately knelt down on half a knee and shouted: "Jiangsu officials and officials humilly bow to welcome the Overseer!" Congratulations to the Overseers! Then the 13th Division, dressed in military uniform, gacha, threw the rifle on his shoulder to his chest, and then crackled three shots, which was the so-called gun salute.

Huaiyang Yan political envoy Wen He, Li He was also among the civil and military officials kneeling to greet the pass, looking at the majestic Wang Huaiqing, Wen and Li He always had some bad feelings in their hearts, and the two of them were a little uneasy to deal with, but because they were both attached to Li Chun, they were inevitably a little sympathetic at this time, Wen He said in a low voice: "Brother Li He, I really hope that my godfather will leave here." As soon as he leaves, we are as pitiful and helpless as motherless children! Li He said: "Something that has no interest, my uncle is gone, and Brother Zhenbang, now the five southeastern provinces are Chang Zhenbang's chassis, as long as my uncle says a word, I can return to the position of the town guard!" Can you? Wen He sighed and said: "I didn't expect that a small and inconspicuous head of the city defense regiment would turn into a big man who held the three provinces and shocked Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I really didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Li He said triumphantly: "People, you should step on the entity!" What's the use of those empty heads! But don't worry, Brother Zhenbang and I are not so unkind people, as long as you follow us to the death, you will have soup if we eat meat. Wen He sighed and said, "That foolish brother's future depends entirely on Brother Li He." Li He smiled and said: "I don't want you to send your sister-in-law to serve the younger brother, this Huaiyang salt envoy is the elder brother's, the younger brother doesn't dare to think about it, but this Huaiyang salt envoy has a lot of things, Wen He you might as well discuss it with the younger brother!" Wen He's eyes flashed with murderous energy, and he smiled flatteringly: "Brother Xian is a person with ideas, since you are willing to share one or two with your brother, my brother can't ask for it!" ”

After the civil and military officials shouted hello, Chen Jiongming as Chang Zhenbang's special envoy, Tang Baichuan as the special envoy of Chen Guangyuan, the Zhejiang overseer, came to bless Wang Huaiqing as the temporary superintendent of Jiangsu, don't look at this Wang Huaiqing said that it was temporary, there is no need for such a bright and vast inauguration ceremony, it can be seen that he is not without thoughts about the position of the Jiangsu overseer, as soon as he heard Tang Baichuan and Chen Jiongming, the two came to congratulate, and greeted him with a smile. And a heavy army was placed outside to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

The guests and hosts of the two sides sat down, and after the subordinates brought the tea, they also retreated, Wang Huaiqing said: "Huaiqing is just temporarily managing Jiangsu on behalf of Li Chun and Li Supervising the Army, but I didn't expect to alarm Chang Zhenbang Chang Daren, which really makes me very ashamed!" ”

Chen Jiongming was taken aback, Chang Zhenbang and Jiangsu and Zhejiang had collusion and an offensive and defensive alliance, and he knew about it, and he was not surprised, but Wang Huaiqing's humble position really surprised him, this is the name between superiors and subordinates.

"Despicable?" Tang Baichuan muttered a few words, smiled slightly, and said: "Master Li Chun Li is the Hubei overseer personally appointed by the imperial court, and Li Tingyu, the overseer of Jiangxi, sent him to take office, that Wang Zhanyuan is arrogant and self-reliant, thinking that he can divide Hubei with the second division in his hand, that is a dream!" Our rebel army is to eradicate these sinners who are unfocused and contemptuous of the court! Wang Huaiqing's eyes lit up and said, "That humble duty has to prepare a generous gift in advance to congratulate Master Li Chun Li." Tang Baichuan said: "That's natural, what kind of character is our rebel army, defeat Long Jiguang, blitz Li Houji, fight Zang Zhiping, defeat Wu Peifu, that's a hundred battles and wins, what is the little Wang Zhanyuan, if he doesn't resist, Lord Chang will treat him well and still give him the second division to manage, if he resists, hum, I'm afraid there will be no Beiyang second division in the world!" After speaking, Tang Baichuan laughed, and Wang Huaiqing laughed so much that he felt a little creepy.

Seeing that Wang Huaiqing was a little afraid, Tang Baichuan walked over and patted Wang Huaiqing on the shoulder and said, "As long as Lord Wang abides by his duty and is loyal to his duties, even if he is unwilling to do the position of the overseer of Jiangsu, Lord Chang will not agree!" Do you know what Chang is doing now? Wang Huaiqing shook his head and said, "I really don't know about my humble position!" Tang Baichuan said: "Master Chang has already gone to Tang Guomo!" ”

"Where is he?" Wang Huaiqing asked suspiciously.

Tang Baichuan smiled slightly, and said: "Where to go to him has its own reason to go to him, the Second Division of Beiyang does not know how powerful it is in the hands of Wang Zhanyuan, but the resistance to the southwest is, the Third Division of Beiyang is in the hands of Cao Kun and Wu Peifu, and the first battle of Jiejia Town can be seen, and the Sixth Division of Beiyang is even more powerful, so the question is, why did Li Houji surrender in Kaicheng and distribute the Beijing Division when the adults blitzed Fujian, but where did the Fourth Division go in his hands? ”

"Where?" Wang Huaiqing was also curious all of a sudden, this Fujian is one of the most powerful chassis of the revolutionary party army after the Wuhan civil uprising, and it was even more powerful than Jiangxi when it was the strongest, so President Yuan Da used the Beiyang Sixth Division when dealing with Jiangxi, and the Beiyang Fourth Division when dealing with Fujian. It stands to reason that there is such a powerful Beiyang Fourth Division guarding Fujian, why was Fujian successfully attacked by Chang Zhenbang, in terms of combat power, even if the Fourth Division was surrounded by Chang Zhenbang, it could successfully fight back! Why did Lee Houji surrender in disgrace? And the mighty Beiyang Fourth Division also disappeared without a trace after Li Houji left, which cannot but be said to be an unsolved mystery!

Tang Baichuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Overseer, in two days, Lord Chang will let the Fourth Division reappear in front of everyone!" What about you? After hearing the news, you might as well swear allegiance to your lordship! In this way, your humble voice is also convincing! ”

Wang Huaiqing hurriedly said: "For the methods of Lord Chang, the humble position has long been convinced, and the Lord is really out of sight when he says this!" In the battle of Shanghai, the 13th Division besieged Shanghai in countless battles, but it was still never overcome, and the adults only used a guard brigade to enter Shanghai, and the soldiers who surrendered without a fight really shocked and admired the humble position! ”

Tang Baichuan was quite satisfied with his answer, and said, "Very good, it's not bad that you can think like this, but what?" The position of the Jiangsu Overseer is to play the imperial court for you, but whether you can control Jiangsu, especially Shanghai, depends on your own means! ”

Wang Huaiqing said: "Please rest assured that Jiangsu will be handed over to the lowly position, and the lowly position will ensure that the Jiangsu guards are impregnable!" ”

Suddenly there was an urgent knock at the outer door, and a telegram was sent to everyone.
